Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue pages; inaszone[.]com, inaslive[.]com, inaslab[.]com, and kadszone[.]com are merely a few of our latest articles. Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications promoting online scams and malicious content.

While genuine products/services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did kneadspro[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these ads from kneadspro[.]com – it is evident that when this page was accessed, permission from their delivery was given by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you stumble upon a suspect webpage – do not enable it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification requests from dubious pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

It is pertinent to mention that having adware installed on the device may result in the browser force-opening questionable sites without prompt. Therefore, if you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, inspect the browser and system for suspicious software.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
